What is it about that space?

Have you ever found yourself inexplicably attracted to a photo of a room without being able to put your finger on what makes it so lovely? It might be the plaster. Look closely at the walls. Do they seem to have varying tones, depth of color, subtle texture? Then it’s probably plaster, the unsung hero of interior decor. Whether it’s bold texture or subtle color variation, nothing create as much depth of interest on a wall as plaster.

Natural plasters attract the eye and can create a calm canvas on which to meditate or an active work of art that inspires. Facets in the sand reflect the light, the depth of the surface creates tonal differences, and inclusions --such as black sand or mica-- lend minute detail. They beg to be touched and reward with the feel of stone, whether it is polished marble or rough-hewn sandstone.
